First day at my new teaching job. It is 45 minutes of meetings and then going shopping with all the new staff for house stuff and groceries. As I have been in Bangkok for a month, I am wondering if I can skip the shopping part as I already have the flat set up. #work

People are getting paid for #publishing #AI-written #books, in an #author's name, when in fact the author did not, and knew nothing about this happening.
Then, when the author tries to do something about it to stop this obvious #abuse, they are told no.

@dMjolnir96 I like to add a "view results" placeholder option to my polls, so that people who are not addressed in them don't end up tilting the results.
Hopefully Mastodon will add a way to show results without having to vote, that would be very useful, and I think some fediverse platforms might even have it already.

You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?
And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.
And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?
Yeah. That.
I think I need a quiet lie down.

@TomGauld hits the nail on the head - the corporate #climatechange deniers have their PR strategies in place... the pivot is coming
Just spent 20 minutes with my 9 y.o. trying to explain to him how important it is to say sorry to yourself and admit that a poor choice was made.
He has a tendency to blame everyone else and refuse to back down even when you (and he) knows he is wrong.
We started small, based around a decision he made in a board game ( #Munchkin). Instead of blaming another player and trying to invent a rule loophole, he just needed to say to himself, "I did not read that card properly, and I wasted it." Following up with saying to everyone else, "Whoops. I guess I misread that card!" Instead he got angry, blamed us both and rage quit the game. Sad times.
I reminded him how important it is to forgive yourself. No one is going to tease you for admitting you made a mistake. No one is going to be upset if you only realise you made a mistake *after* you lost your temper, but then apologise and admit you made a mistake.
Something he can work on, anyway.
Anyone know why my iPod Classic will only charge at a PC/Playstation or dock and not by a powerbank or plugged wall charger? #iPodClassic #iPod #charging

So be careful when posting photos, even if location EXIF has been scrubbed! #photography

My fountain pens made it through customs without any extra postage tax. Huzzah! I left them ay school by accident before I left for Thailand. My mate posted them over but I was positive I was going to be taxed for getting them. I tried to search online for "buy fountain pens thailand" but price wise the shipping of mine seemed a lot cheaper. They are just #platinumpreppy but I love them. #fountainpens
I am new to #iGCSE #chemistry this year. Where is the best site for me to go to and read up on stuff? I taught #GCSE from 2007-2010, what has changed? #edutooters @edutooters #ITeachChemistry
Ugh. #Jaskier has the worst hair this season of #TheWitcher #Netflix

* Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.
* 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!
Coincidence? I think not!
Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.
(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)
Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.
Went to a garden park and played #frisbee today. It had been a while but some good throws and catches were had. Then wandered down to some shops and #markets at #Chatuchak There was a pet market there but it made me feel a bit sad to see sugar gliders, skinks, lizards, meerkats and capybaras for sale 😭 #Bangkok #FieldTrip #UrbanExplorer
